Simply Cookbooks

It has been awhile since I lasted posted, my only excuse is:  The Holidays wore me out!

I also have been trying out some new recipes I found both online and in some of my mothers old cookbooks.

This one we are having tonight.   I love the simplicity of a sub.   I will serve it with a tossed salad for a complete meal.

Ingredients

* 1  egg, lightly beaten
* 1/3  cup fine dry bread crumbs
* 2/3  cup finely chopped onion (2 small)
* 1/2  teaspoon salt
* 1/2  teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
* 1/4  teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1-1/2  pounds lean ground beef
* 1  15-ounce can tomato sauce
* 1/2  cup chopped green sweet pepper (1 small)
* 2  tablespoons packed brown sugar
* 1  tablespoon yellow mustard
* 1  teaspoon chili powder
* 1/4  teaspoon garlic salt
* 1/4  teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1/8  teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce
* 8  hoagie buns, split and toasted
* 2  cups shredded mozzarela cheese (8 ounces)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir together egg, bread crumbs, 1/3 cup onion, the salt, oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add ground beef; mix well. Shape meat mixture into 32 balls. Arrange meatballs in a single layer in an ungreased 15×10x1-inch baking pan. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 25 minutes. Drain off fat.

2. For the sauce, in a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker, stir together tomato sauce, the remaining 1/3 cup onion, the sweet pepper, brown sugar, mustard, chili powder, garlic salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and the hot pepper sauce. Add cooked meatballs, stirring gently to coat with sauce.

3. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 3 to 4 hours or on high-heat setting for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

4. Place four meatballs on the bottom of each bun. Top with some of the sauce and a slice of cheese. Add bun tops. Makes 8 servings.
